COMBINED INK-FOUNTAIN AND PEN-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,705, dated January 3, 1882.

Application filed February 21, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALFRED DOUBLEDAY, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Removable InlcFountains for Pen-Holders, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a pen and pencil holder equipped with the removable ink-fountain. Fig. 2 is a side view of the ink-fountain removed fromthe holder. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the ink fountain, and Figs. 4 and 5 are modifications.

The object of this invention is to provide a pen and pencil holder with a removable inkfonntain, and to adapt the ink fountain or cell to be readily secured to an object preparatory to use.

To this end I provide the end of the holder A opposite to the pen with afountuin,B. This fountain may he of an convenient length and adapted to slide entirely within the holder, or only a portion of it placed in the holder, and the other part constructed of the same diameter as the holder or staff. The upper end of this fountain is provided with a thread internally and a rubherhead, O, screwed therein. This head 0 answers the purpose of an eraser, as in the ordinary pencil. The lower end of this fountain is permanently closed, and a stylus or pin, D, projects therefrom.

When desired for use the fountain or cell 8 is drawn from the pen-staff and the pin D forced down into the table. or other ronvenient resting-place, as shown in Fig. 3. The fountain thus remains erect, and the cork or head (3 can be removed,enahling the writer to use the ink from-the fountain.

It will be observed that this invention requires the pen-holder to he tubu ar and is designed for that class of holders; hut in case it is desired to attach the fountain to wooden holders, or to those not made of metallic suhstances, the upper end of the holder must he made tubular to receive the lower end of the fountain. 1

Having described my invention, what- I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A removable ink-fountain in pen-holders,

having a pin projecting from its lower end, as
